Shark Launches AquaReach with Extendable Hard-Surface Cleaning Wand
The August announcement extends wet-and-dry cleaning beyond floors to baseboards and other hard surfaces.
News date:
Shark launched AquaReach on August 18, 2026, combining hard-floor vacuuming and mopping with an integrated extendable wand. The system is designed to continue cleaning beyond the main floor nozzle, reaching baseboards, windowsills, cabinet fronts and other hard surfaces.
The company announcement describes two wand tools. A stain scrubber uses directed spray and suction for localized dirt, while a detailer mop reaches edges, tight corners and spaces under furniture. On the floor, a rotating brushroll applies cleaning solution and recovers dirty liquid while vacuuming debris.
Separate tanks keep clean and used water apart, and an on-dock rinse flushes the brushroll after use. AquaReach Pro adds an automated cleaning and heated-air drying system. Those station functions distinguish the Pro configuration from the base offer, so they should be matched to the actual retail package.
Shark announced U.S. launch prices of USD 399.99 for AquaReach and USD 529.99 for AquaReach Pro, initially through its website and TikTok Shop. Additional retail distribution and colors were planned. WCB's AquaReach WD551 profile covers the named base model; features described for Pro packages should be checked separately before comparing offers.
